Kelly Ripa Just Shared Her Family Christmas Card—And Mark Consuelos Is Looking Dapper

From Oprah Magazine

23 years after getting married, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos continue to prioritize family.

The celebrated A-list duo met in 1995 on the set of All My Children, and eloped a year later in Las Vegas. And while Ripa moved on to host Live with Kelly and Ryan and Consuelos appeared in films and TV shows such as Riverdale, they welcomed three kids along the way. The family of five includes Michael Joseph, 22, Lola Grace, 18, and Joaquin Antonio, 16.

Ripa often speaks candidly about being a mother on Live, and she's shared that she and Consuelos can be strict. Together, they implement a no-texting policy during study hours. And in 2014, Ripa offered an example of a time she had to be a tough parent, telling audiences that she had to remove her daughter's computer and phone privileges during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show

"I don't think she likes me, but I don't care. I'm like, 'I'm not your friend! I'm your mom," she said. "I just feel like an obligation, as her mom, to keep her living in the real world."

Although the two are stern with their kids, Ripa and Consuelos like poking fun and showing love for them on social media. Even if their kids (especially their 18-year-old daughter, Lola) aren't always keen on their mom posting pics of them on Instagram.

As you can see above, (and you'll likely note below) it's difficult to ignore the fact that the trio scored some pretty good genes from their parents. Below, some of our favorite family photos, including their most recent family Christmas card which portrays the group in all their glory.

Ripa posted a flashback photo of her whole clan on vacation.

In honor of her eldest's birthday, Ripa shared this sweet tribute video. Fans said that Michael, 22, looks like her husband, suggesting they could pass for twins. But, Ripa used the opportunity to joke on Live with Kelly and Ryan about how unfair it is that everyone gushes about similar they are when she's the one who went through labor (and not an easy one at that).

She also revealed that in the run-up to the big day, Consuelos told Michael that he had carte blanche to do absolutely anything he wanted to celebrate—go to Vegas, say, or a boxing match. But Michael opted to keep things simple, and requested a simple steak dinner with his parents. What a sweetheart!

While Lola may be particular, Ripa was able to get her to agree to prom snaps that could go on her mom's feed.

"It only took 20 hours, but we finally got two approved prom photos. #prom 2019 💚💚 love you," Ripa captioned the pictures of Lola in an emerald evening gown standing beside her date, and one next to her proud mama.

If this picture of Michael proves anything, it's that he looks exactly like his father. "When your son gives you a job.......💕🎬💫👁 #filmschool #tvshow #producer," Ripa captioned the picture.

2019

This elaborate family holiday card is essentially 12 pictures in one, proving that those kids are certainly patient. A photo shoot like this takes dedication.
